Each round is open for approximately 7 weeks to allow applicants to submit their form. Unfortunately, we cannot accept late submissions.<\/p>\n<p>When a grant round is closed there is an assessment underway. During this 10-12 week period applicants may be contacted for further information.<\/p>\n<p>New applications cannot be submitted during this assessment period, and must wait until the next round of grants opens.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Grant awards<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Trust looks to make maximum impact on the delivery of a project or service, and therefore the preference is to fund a greater proportion of the total project cost (TPC). Therefore, the Trust will only award grants that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">equate to at least 10% of the TPC<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, your request may be for funding towards core costs (rather than a specific project\/service). The Board will be more flexible with the 10% threshold as Total Annual Expenditure (TAE) is likely to be of a higher value.<\/p>\n<p>Grants can offer support for 1, 2 or 3 years. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agneshunter.org.uk\/recent-grants\/\">Recent Grants<\/a><\/strong> webpage provides information on the levels of grants awarded at recent Board meetings. Whilst most grants are between \u00a33,000-\u00a310,000\/yr the Trust reserves a degree of flexibility on these award values. We do not award grants below the value of \u00a33,000.<\/p>\n<p>The Board will consider your requested grant value and grant term\/duration as a priority. However, an alternative grant value may be awarded over a shorter timeframe if there is strong competition for funds at that round.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants should note that their grant requests should factor in the date of the Board meeting, as funding will only be awarded for activities\/ charity expenditure that is yet to be delivered. (i.e. grant funding cannot be awarded retrospectively\/ for costs already incurred).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Application information<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Applicants must read the <strong>NEW<\/strong> <strong>Application Guidelines<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/strong> PDF documents found on this page, and review the eligibility criteria on our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agneshunter.org.uk\/restrictions\/\">Restrictions page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to discuss any aspect of your application prior to submission, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agneshunter.org.uk\/contact-us\/\">contact the Trust Manager<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We advise all applicants to review the Trust\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agneshunter.org.uk\/privacy-policy\/\">Privacy Policy<\/a> to understand how the Trust uses any personal data supplied in the grant application process.
